I would use a third-party control like Aspose.Words,
www.aspose.com. I had
the same type of project and after 6 months of working
on it, I found the
Aspose control and within 2 weeks the project was
done. Was a life saver.

Subject: [ADVANCED-DOTNET] Running word from a web
server
Hi all,
I am engulfed in a rewrite of an old ASP application
to ASP.NET 2.0. Part
of which generates word documents on the fly from the
web server. The
application uses office 2003.
This is notoriously tricky and resource hungry. It
has peculiarities such
as word needs to be visible as part of the process.
Thankfully the amount
of traffic the product gets is small or the web server
would blow up.
What I would like to know is if this is any easier
with word 2007. Can I
generate word 2003 documents from the web server using
office 2007? Will
this make my life easier?
My initial thoughts were to have a windows service
running that receives
requests via MSMQ for these word documents. But the
time scales on this
project (as is always the case) are small. I need a
quick win really.
Can anyone with experience at this type of thing share
their experience?
Cheers
